My Project

Every year my students spend a portion of the year learning about ecosystems and biomes as part of our Science curriculum. This is by far the most fun part of their Science topics, where we observe a pond ecosystem for a few weeks. Then we learn about other biomes to continue out studies.

For the culminating project students have to choose an ecosystem and make a diorama representing the animals, and plants that live there.

Students will use the materials from this project to help them have the information they need to help create their biome boxes which they share in a gallery walk to not only teach their classmates but other students in the school.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
